Friend works in land title insurance & sees a LOT of problems when people with solar panels, leased or being bought on time, when people go to sell their homes. Lots of really nasty liens and great difficulty getting them off the properties.

DO NOT LISTEN TO DOOR TO DOOR SALES PEOPLE. Even they don't know what's in most contracts. High pressure and want commitment fast. Show them out or at least take any contract they want you to sign to a trusted lawyer.
